Hilt and Tregear Earn All-Region Honors from NSCAA/adidas

Dec 09, 2008

Central Connecticut had a pair of players earn NSCAA/adidas
All-Northeast region honors following a 12-7-4 season which
culminated in the team's fifth NCAA Tournament appearance in seven
seasons. Junior Karise Hilt and sophomore Clio Tregear were both
recognized by NSCAA/adidas. Hilt earned second team honors, while
Tregear selected to the third team.

Hilt played in 22 games for the Blue Devils, helping anchor a
record-setting defense. CCSU posted a program-best 12 shutouts
this season. A first team All-Northeast Conference selection, Hilt
had three goals and an assist this season. The Leominster, MA
native was one of just two non-goalkeepers to earn NEC Defensive
Player of the Week honors in 2008. She was also a second team
all-conference selection in 2006.

Tregear, a captain for this year's team, appeared in and started
all 23 Central Connecticut contests. Also a first team
All-Northeast Conference honoree, Tregear finished third on the
team in goals and points. She scored six times and had four
assists for a total of 19 points. Tregear was a second team
All-NEC pick in 2007.

The Blue Devils ended their season with an NCAA Tournament first
round loss at Boston College. It followed CCSU's fifth NEC
Championship in seven seasons. Jess McCavanagh was the last player
to earn NSCAA/adidas all-region honors. She was a third team
selection in 2006.
